There’s a lot of different things that “1.0” can mean. In many cases the label refers to some arbitrary measure of code maturity, but that’s usually
very indistinct. There’s quite a bit of “1.0” software that’s far less robust
than Django was at day 1; we could have called it “1.0” then and gotten away
with it, I think.

In the context of Django, though, 1.0 has always meant something more concrete: forwards compatibility. Once we tag something as 1.0, we’re
committing to maintaining API stability as described in the contributing HOWTO
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/contributing/#official-releases).

The last, most important, piece of the puzzle, is that we now have official ticket managers, a group of volunteers who work together to manage ticket metadata and otherwise streamline the process. Although anyone can -- and is encouraged to -- help out keeping tickets organized, these folks have volunteered to take ownership of the ticket tracker in the long term. Please welcome Chris Beaven (SmileyChris), Simon Greenhill, Michael Radziej and Gary Wilson!
